A study was conducted to investigate the influence of copper administration in ovo chicken embryos and/or supplied drinking water growing chickens form nanoparticles (Cu-NP) or sulphate (CuSO4 ). The fertilised eggs were assigned three groups (n = 50 per group): control (not injected), injected with mg/kg Cu-NP CuSO4 at day 1 incubation. Thereafter, 126 one-day-old broiler randomly seven post-hatched groups: not and provided Cu water, + 20 . experiment carried out from 35 post-hatching....
We hypothesised that copper nanoparticles (NanoCu), because of their high physicochemical reactivity and bioavailability, could be used in much smaller quantities than bulk Cu, consequently reducing excretion Cu into the environment. The objective study was to evaluate effects various levels NanoCu on development growth broiler chickens, order establish an optimum level dietary supplementation. Broiler chickens were randomly divided five groups 10 birds each. control group received 7.5 mg...
The objective of this study was to evaluate bone resistance after in ovo administration copper nanoparticles (NanoCu) and determine the number cells positive for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) femoral bones broiler chickens (n = 12 per group). demonstrated that from NanoCu group were characterised by a higher weight volume significantly greater fractures compared Control group. promoted proliferation PCNA-positive long chickens. A birds with (137 122, respectively) indicate...
Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) has been shown to predict the processing weights of carcass and cut-up pieces chicken. This study aimed validate models using DEXA that were previously developed. An experiment was conducted with broilers grown up in 80 floor pens randomly subjected one five dietary treatments. On day 41, all birds weighed, seven selected per pen, their recorded. After a feed withdrawal period, pen transported plant, rest fed again. The weighed before after chilling...
The fasting heat production ( FHP ; net energy expenditure under maintenance) is a key value to determine the of feed and calculated from measurements in respiratory chambers or predicted as function metabolic BW MBW ). This study aimed influence body composition on broilers through modeling approach. Six experiments (Exp 1–6) were conducted develop 1–4) externally validate 5 6) predictive models. In Exp 1–4, single genetic line floor pens subjected three dietary treatments induce...
The increasing breast weight of modern broilers highlights the convenience studying dynamics processing weights across grow-out period. For models predicting these traits to work with non-fasted live birds under longitudinal studies, it is necessary determine changes in due fasting and bleeding carcasses chilling. This study aimed develop a model predict loss broilers, chilling, assess percentage gizzard fat abdominal fat. Models were fitted BW data from literature. A value obtained pilot...
